Dottie West - Last Letter Lyrics


Dottie West Lyrics

Last Letter Lyrics
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend

What have I done that has made you so distant and cold

Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again

And will you be happy when you are withered and old

No I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine

And I cannot offer you all the clothes that your young body crave

But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine

Why just think of the heartaches all the tears and the sorrow you'll save

When you grow weary and tired of another one's gold

When you get lonely remember this letter my own

But don't try to reach me though I've suffered anguish untold

If you don't love me I just wish you would leave me alone

While I am writing this letter I think of the past

And of the promises that you have broken so free

And to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last

Yes I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
